The di vision of I‘l(itand, on .theother hand, is cantoned from the mouth of the Weser to that of the Trave. It Is affirmed that two regiments, belonging to the division of 'Grneral Gudin; are to occupy the coasts of the Duchy of Mecklenberg. The French troops. stationed in the. Prussian forttesses of Glogau, Cus trin, and Stettin, and which are not very 'turner- Ott:, do not form part of the army alluded to, but are under the immediate orders of the French Commandants of those fortresses, who correspond direct. with the superior military 'authorities.

The followingis.an account of the official value of our ImporlS and Expotts with ti rope alone, in each of the last le Continent of Eu se years supplied •by Mr. Irving, f , )r the sake of throwing further light on the general ques tion "of the balance of trade and the exchanges ; and of di4sipating some very prevalent errors which have a great prac tical influence or . the subject now'under consi deration. 'That the real exchange against this country with the Continent cannot, at any time have, nLiteriolly exceeded' the limit fixed by the cost at.that rime of transporting specie, your Committee ate-convinced upon the principles which have been already stated. That in point .of - faa, those exchanges haVe not exceeded that -limit set'nis to receive a very satisfac tory illustration trom one part the'etidence of Mt. Greflulne, who, of all the merchants , ex amined), seemed most Wedded to the opinion, that the state of the balance, of payments alone was suf ficient to account for any depression of the ex changes, however great. Prom what the Com mittee have already stated with respeCt to the par of exchange, it is manifest that the exchange between two countries is at its real par, when a given quan -tit y of gold or silver in the one country is:convertible at tire market price into such an amount of the cur rency of that country, as will purchase a bill of ex change on the other country for such an amount of the currency of that other country, as will there be convertible at the market prig e iuto an equal quan tity of : gold or silver,olthe same fineness. Jo the same manner the real exchange is in favour of a country having money transactions with another, when. a given quantity a gold or silver in the former is convertible for such an amount in the currency of that latter country, as will• there be convertible into a greater quantity of gold or silver of the same fineness.

Great Britain, as exhibited in this imperfect state ment, are not far from corresponding with the ge neial and more accurate balances before given.— The favourable b dance of 1809 with Europe alone, if computed accord . irg "to the aCtual value, would, be much more considerable than the value of the same year, in the former general statement. A favourable balance of trade on the face of the account of exports and imports, presented annually to Parliament, is a very probable consequence of large drafts on Government for foreign expenditure; an augmentation of exports, and a diminution of imports, being promottd and even enforced by the means of such drafts. For if the supply of bills drawn abroad, either by the agents of Government, or by individuak, is disproportionate to the demand, the price of them in foreign money, falls, until it is do low as to tpvite purchasers ; and the purchasers, who are generally foreigners, not wishing to trans fer their property permanently to England, have a referenc. to , the terms on which the bilk on Eng land will purchase hoe British commodities which are in demand, tither in their own country, or in inter medi::te places,. with, which the account may be adjusted. Thus, the, price of the bills being regulated in torne degree by that of British 'commo dities, and eolith - mil% to fall till it Becomes so low as to be likely .to afford a profit on the purchase and exportation of these commoditities, an aetual expor tation nearly proportionate to the amount of the bills drawn can scarcely fail to take place. It follows, that there Cannot be, for.any. long period, either a highly favourable or unfavourable balance trade ; for the balance no sooner atreas the price of bills, than the price of, bills, by its re-action on the state of trade, promotes an equalization of commercial exports and imports.—Your Commit _ tee have here considered cash and bullion as forming a part . of the general mass of exported or imported articles, and a 9. transferred . accord ing to the state both of the supply and the de mand; forming However, under certain circum stances, and especially in the case of great.fludu -ations in the general commerce, a peculiarly com modious remittance. Your Committee have enlarged on the documents Since our' last, German Papers have arrived 'to the Bth, French to the 11th, and Dutch to the'l2th. The late reports of the defeat of the Russians by the Turks, are fully confirmed by the German Pa pers, there being' several - articles in :hese Journals from different. quarters whiCh all concur in. stating that fait.' The amount of the loss sustained by the Russians is, however, variously estimated. Ac cording to some statements, they lost all their can non and baggage, whilst others mention that they preserved them, and retreated in good order. (lie account states, that it was only a part of the Russian troops that was defeated, and that the check was of little consequence; but in Others - it is affirmed, that the whole armies were engaged The battle is said to have lasted sixteen hours, and to have been at length decided against the Russians by the Turkish Cavalry. Amidst these contradiaory statements, it is im possible to ascertain the truth, further than that the Russian arms aalually sustained a defeat—that being repeated in all the accounts, however favourable or unfavourable to the Russian cause, and we think it highly probable, from the details that are given, that the Turks obtained on this occasion a brilliant vic. tory. The late King'of Sweden arrived at Leipsie froth Munich on the 30th ult. and after a short stay, pro— . ceeded on his way to Berlin. It is rutnoured in-the Ger= man Papers that he intended to repair to the coast of, the Baltic. His progress in that direEtion seems to augur important political consequences. The critical state - of affairs in Sweden, . arising frotn..the imbecility of the reigning Monarch, and the contest for the suc cession, in which the attempt to impose upon the , Swedes the Danish yoke, cannot fail ,to excite amongst them considerable alarm, renders it by'no means improbab!e that the journey of GusTAvos to the North is conneQed wall some projeQ for his re storation to the Swedish-Throne. The brave inhabitants of the Tyrol have not yet been subdued by the tyranny of -their oppressors. In the neighbourhood of flovca's native place, in spired by the remembrance of his patriotism and va lour, they have resisted the conscription, and seve ral Bavarian soldiers were killed and wounded in the. contests which ensued. Fresh Regiments had been ordered to march, to reduce the unfortunate Tyrolese to submission. The French and Dutch Papers contain very little news: They state that Almeida had been invested, but are % silent respeding the action k hich imme diately preceded the laying siege to that fortress. It is ascertained by the accounts from Naples in these Papers, that no attempt had been made on Sicily up to the 2 ISt' ult.: on that day an attack was made by our force on some of the enemy's transports and gun-boats stationed off the Punta del Pezzo.— It is pretended that we retreated with considerable loss ; but from: the specimens we lately had of MURAT'S naval viaories, we have no doubt that this affair will turn ont to be a very considerable discom fiture of Isis invading flotilla. • According - to a report' in private Letters from the Continent, it appears that a new conspiracy against BuoNArnaTz had been discovered at Breda, and that two, of the chief agents .in the plot had been secured. It has been hinted that this is perhaps. but a pretended conspir v acy on the partof the French Government, in order toget rid of certain persons in Holland who may be supposed to be par►icularly hostile to the views of the Gallic Tyrant. Every species of artifice may_ indeed . be expe&ed from the . Usurper and his agents, but as he has 'been the cause of more misery, national and domestic, than any other person that ever existest and as the hearts of all mankind are .against him, it would by no means be wonderful if the alleged :conspiracy were the result of that indignation and abhorrence which his condud canr.ot fat: to excite, and which way na turally dispose some resolute spirits to attempt to rid the world of such a Monster. We believe there is no truth in a statement in , a Paper of yesterday, of the arrival of i Flag of T 1 Lice, with Dispatches relative to the Exchange of Prisoners• The QU EiN and Princess ELIZABETH on Saturday took an airing to Froginore, and walked in the gar deps. We are happy to hear that the Prineess.AmELlA is now so.much recovered, that all her medical at tendants have discontinued their visits, except Dr. Pv PE. Yinterday morning . his NIAJEsTy, Princesses Au - GU4TA and SoPHIA, accompanied by f , COLLYER, went to St. George's.. ; Chapel, and he , rd a Sermon pleacbed front Hebrew ' s, chap. verse 13, and afterwards retUrned to the Palace. On Saturday the Duke of YORK arrived at Wind sor, and afterwards rode in Windsor Great Park with his MAJESTY, and the Princesses AUGUSTA and . SOPHIA.

Yesterday`Sir VICARY cII3BS arrived at Windsor. • On Saturday a Cabinet Council was held at the Foreign Oilice. The snhject 'of deliberation was supposed to relate to BVONAPARTE 's late decree. Much has been said of a recent speech of the Prince of WALES, in which his Royal Highness is reported to have said that, he was anxious to instil into the mind of his daughter the principles of Mr. Fox. In the rir.t place, it may be said that we have only Oppoiition authority for believing that his Royal Highness ever uttered such sentiments,' and that is certainly not the most credible ground for confidence. In the next place, we humbly pre sume, however, that it would be difficult to know what were the principles of Mr. Fox, for he shifted his ground as 'much as any other political adven, turer of the day. .At one time, it it well known that he declared the representativ e bOdy were 'whoPy independent, of their constituents; and at another he maintained that the will (,f the consti tuents should- be' imperative on the representatives,' to say nothing of the -contradictory doctrines which he espoused and abandoned upon various occasions. How then is it 'to be supposed that the Prince of WALES, with his enlightened understanding, would have resorted to the inconsistent principles of such, a man for• the political creed of his illustrious off spring'? The following exiract of a letter was on Saturday posted at Lloyd's : " DUNKIRK, APRIL 10, 1810.—The American ‘essels which had been detained heie, are ordered to be released." The Black Joke; Lieutenant•KENNEDY, has been taken by two large privateers, and carried into Al giers. She was tharged with dispatcher from Con stantinople, Matta, and with overland d4atches from India. Leiters from Madrid state, that in consequence of the interception of couriers with dispatchts by the peasantry, alders had been issued by King Jos.tru for the erection of a number of forts, at suited dis torters, on ;he great road leading from Madrid to 131yonne. When the French troops . entered 4.:n , terdam, many of the houses were. shut t.p, the owners being either travelling or in the country : the Bin gomaster, however, ordered them to be broken open, all 4 the furniture, tkc. to be sold, to delraj• the expellee of the sold:ers' maintenance.
